    Schrick Manifold

    Its just a 2 inch cut from the double skinned framework underneath the bonnet, it doesn't show with the bonnet closed and if you go steady with the dremel you wont scorch the paint

    gauges

    I offered £155, but not me

    1st corrado

    Looks a clean car, sherry pearl metallic. Decals probably helped keep the price down, I've never seen the car before, here, FB, nor clasifieds. Lowered Corrados look good on standard Speedlines so don't give up on them too soon.
  4. Bearing noise usually changes when steering, eg a noisy O/S bearing will go quieter negotiating a roundabout because weight transfers to the N/S and vise-versa. I'd swap tyres front to back and see if the noise moves / changes if its purely speed related.
  5. It was still there this morning, a G60 on silver Schmitts
  6. It's still in the packaging lol
  7. I posted it at over 10kg and weighed it on return as 6kg, the weight is machined mostly from the outer edges for less inertia
  8. Newer pumps are supposed to be higher pressure, others have fitted pumps like you intend to and have had good results. You could try it first by removing the bolt? Then once proven slip the bolt back in and grind off the mounting without disturbing the pipework? Long term use without the bolt fitted would lead to fatigue in the bracket and its failure? Me? I'd grind the bracket off and if it doesn't work I've lost the price of a used pump (I have a few used MK4 TDi pumps on the shelf anyway)
  9. ABS measures the differences in wheel speeds so differing overall circumferences front and rear would cause issues (in your case the front wheels would do more RPMs than the rear).
  10. Black 4 stud car on the market car park in Rye
  11. I take it your car is non ABS?
  12. Have you tried the tapatalk app, really easy.

    Piston rings

    Presumably the car is using oil? How much oil per 1000 miles? Is it causing misfires due to fowling the plugs?
  14. They're not Venoms, Venoms have no dish, but they do look similar side on
  15. Are the heater controls rotary for late models? Price posted please

  17. Try sending these a photo, I've seen similar on carbs so these may have something similar or even reproduce them? http://www.webcon.co.uk/
  18. If the clutch is releasing with the pedal on the floor and there are no external leaks its likely to be the master. When mine occasionally stuck to the floor eventually the slave let go leaving a puddle of fluid beneath the car when parked.
  19. I'd start with a full service, compression test and check the timing belt to make sure the cam's not a tooth out, make sure the basics are correct before looking for lack of boost.
  20. I saw a blue TT recently with orange calipers and it looked well

    Bad VR6 noise

    I'm 50, I spent 3 hours on Thursday evening (between rain showers) replacing driveshafts on my daily for an mot pass the day after. Your block is a known entity that's all I was trying to say, poor Jim Bowen bought a brand new block and pistons and still had a failure similar to your own shortly afterwards
